Compare Node (Like "Expression Node" but the result type is boolean )

[DanielRoth]

Example:

Normally we need "Equal?" function combined with a constant.

With this idea the code is smaller ...

[PhillipBrooks]

You can compare two clusters directly. To get the summary comarison, you must right-click the comparison function and select "Compare Aggregates"

[DanielRoth]

Yes - I know this feature - but if there are 20 Items in the Cluster and you need just 2-3 ... this solution is not as readable like my idea.

Thanks Daniel

[PhillipBrooks]

You can compare the clusters conventionally, then AND with a cluster of Booleans; set the items that you want to match to TRUE.  Use the Compare Aggregates with the output of the first cluster AND comparison. See below...

I learned this trick some time ago on the LAVA forums...

I think that LoveVIEW's point is that just as the "Equals Zero" primitive is useful for integers as a common compare, something similar would be useful for enums etc.

@ Phillip Brooks: 1. solution is to big and the second one - i dont have any adjective for it 😉

@ Aristos Queue: Thanks for your comment 😉

in general:

my idea was to have something like a "Expression Node" but for "comparing the input with constants" with a boolean output.
